Bobcat LT414 trencher attachment Tackle tough trenching jobs with the Bobcat LT414 trencher attachment. Cut into the ground and build a trench through all soil conditions. The trencher is designed with the power and strength to dig in even the toughest, rocky soil types. Use the side-shift feature — manual or hydraulic depending on the model — to dig a trench close to buildings, fences and other objects. Equip the trencher with different teeth and chain options to maximize trenching capabilities in different soil conditions. The LT414 delivers a 4- to 5-foot dig depth, and features hydraulic side-shift for trenching close to buildings and other objects. Bobcat Co. Ditch Witch RT30 ride-on trencher The Ditch Witch RT30 ride-on trencher has a compact footprint and tight turning radius, making it ideal for installing utilities on tight jobsites. The 24.8-hp. RT30 is an excellent value for outdoor power equipment dealers seeking to offer a product that is more powerful than a walk-behind trencher and more affordable than a standard-size ride-on trencher. Owners will enjoy the benefits of low maintenance and reliable performance, and contractors will enjoy the RT30's comfortable operator station, easyto-use controls, and trenching capability of up to 8 inches wide and 42 inches deep. The RT30's 42-inch boom provides a 36inch cover depth, which satisfies most city codes and requirements. The maneuverable, 4-wheel-drive RT30 combines a tight turning radius with ground drive speeds of 5.3-mph forward and 2.7 mph in reverse.

On the PRO model, operators may make precise adjustments to their tilling depth right from their seat with the remote-controlled actuator.
